I agree it seems like YouTube wants to be the internet cable station..the first thing that really hurt me was when they took the ability to e-mail to everyone with one command..now you have to enter each one individually..can't do that...you know another thing is that I don't think all channels are equal..my friend has a non partner channel and he gets choices for type of adds..on my non partner channel..I don't..just seems like either you get there favor or you don't and if you don't...good luck..lol...thanks for the comment and letting me know I'm not alone..
